Episode BBAU 2022 - Episode 13 Discussion (1 Jun, 7:30pm)

[Thing]

Woo Hoo I finally get to start a daily thread and poll a question...

 

[bradnak]

Throw your mic on the floor, chuck a tanty, storm into the dairy room & tell Big Brother to get ***

I think Dave would be right at home in the dairy room if there was one based on last night's episode!

As to the poll question. Life experience instructs me that I'd just be a floater. I ain't tribal and just like to get along with everyone.

 

[JimJam]

Being a floater sounds very passive, like plankton in a current, but being a swinger sounds more purposeful and strategic.

That would be a coaster. The traditional floater is someone who plays somewhere in the middle leveraging power from both sides. Floaters are dangerous because they typically don’t have any allegiance to anyone except themselves and can make unpredictable moves. Jun from BB4 US is a perfect example of what a traditional floater is.

Allison again from BB4 US is another perfect example of a floater…

I was just flicking through the random screenshots I take from 7 Play while watching. Seeing if I had any ideas for a photoshop. One thing that is really standing out to me is how miserable people look.

I know what it is, just commenting that the term isn’t necessarily an accurate description. You might say Lulu is a floater but Dave or Tim is a swinger for example.

I disagree. The term floater is accurate a pretty accurate description of the strategy.

Yes! Compared to the last two series, everyone seems very stressed & not having fun. Very different from previous. Even BB is not snarky in a fun, teasing way. He's more like You failed, you don't get extra food. Even when he destroyed people's food in the wood chipper, they were having more fun

 

[Gayspie]

I decided to sit back, diffuse the tension in this virtual Big Brother house, and let someone else start the daily episode thread for a change.

I would ally with the OG players. I feel they are less likely to pull erratic moves than newbies trying to get screw time so they can become influencers. Also they’ve been through the experience and they know how to cope.

 

[Hunter's_Mckay]

I'd try and play like Taras is doing with a foot in both groups yet never being nominated (and probably get screwed by a non elim later on because they want a bigger personality to win)

That was actually inspired by Dave's famous 2006 dummy spit

If you're playing to win though you're better off aligning with the n00bs, or at least floating, with an aim to have two of them alongside you for the audience vote at the end. This seems to be Tim's strategy.

I was referring to how you typoed diary room as "dairy room"

Oh hahaha I didn't even notice that & you're right he would have.. BB told him to leave the cows udders alone, so I'm guessing he was yearning for a tug

yes i think this! they aren’t nominating each other lol

 

[JimJam]

I disagree. The term floater is accurate a pretty accurate description of the strategy.

We can respectfully agree to disagree, that’s fine. You float and I’ll swing!
